The goal of the Middle School League is to provide a venue for younger players to gain more tournament experience, while allowing them to play against competitors of their same ability. Eligible players must be enrolled in an academic program as a fifth through eighth grade student and are entered as an individual. Players are responsible for bringing or leasing appropriate horses for the tournament, as the split-string format is not used. Player applications are accepted on a rolling basis by tournament.

Award winners for the weekend were as follows:

All-Stars: Kylie Beard, Sierra Blevins, Isabelle Brockett, Aleem Siddiqui
Horsemanship Award: Sage Lax
Sportsmanship Award: Jonathan Dingus
Best Playing Pony: Solo, ridden by Kaitlyn Paleia, owned by Battlefield Polo Club

Teams Participating: Marlan Farm Grey, Drumcliffe Green, Marlan Farm White, Marlan Farm White
